imagine you’re laying in bed, playing on your palmhusk (maybe even typing up a short story for an account you run, who knows) and it is cold as hell. you’re fine though; you have at least three blankets and you enjoy the feeling of your cold feet against your skin. still, you really wished someone was there to snuggle you and hold you close, you know? thankfully, you did have people, they were just watching a movie in the living room.
you continue to play on your device until mallek saunters tiredly into the room. he plops down next to you and puts his chin atop your head and curls into your side, not even bothering to get under the blankets. you shift and move closer into him, eyeing him when you notice he’s already asleep.
you hear the TV shut off and tagora rushes into the room, immediately ducking under the blankets and folding himself into the space between you and mallek, arms and legs wrapped around you. his face was buried in your neck as he shivered. you felt mallek readjust himself to tagora’s presence; he fell back asleep latched onto tagora instead of you.
“you couldn’t wait two seconds for me, could you?” galekh’s large figure appeared in the doorway and you giggled at his response.
“alright, where is he?” galekh hovered over the foot of the bed, looking for where tagora was situated so he didn’t accidentally crush him. you motioned with your head that he was in between you and mallek.
“wow, i finally get a side of you to myself, huh?” galekh murmured in response as he crawled to your open side, plopping down next to you on his side. you set your palmhusk down and slowly moved yourself to turn to face him, the two of you melting into one another as you came together and hugged each other lovingly. within minutes, galekh was fast asleep, leaving you to be the last one awake.
you took account of each individual breath you heard in the room, noticing tagora’s forehead pressed in between your shoulder blades, before finally caving into your own breath and your own tiredness. within seconds, you too, were fast asleep
